Good news: Logan Mankins returned to the Patriots camp today. After watching the state of the O-line during Thursday's preseason opener, he can't come back soon enough. It's good to have Mankins back, but Matt Light won't be back, and Brian Waters still isn't around.

CSNNE.com Patriots Insider Tom E. Curran and CSNNE's Lou Merloni discuss the state of the Pats tackle position with Nate Solder looking iffy and Sebastian Vollmer still hurt. Curran says they "looked a little bit flat early on".
